The H&S Manager is responsible for the ownership and continuous improvement of HSE across the company and in driving best practice in health, safety, and environmental performance.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring legal compliance, strengthening HSE documentation, and embedding a positive, proactive safety culture. The role combines hands-on delivery with strategic oversight, requiring visibility on site and the confidence to influence behaviour at all levels. As well as hands-on H&S there will be a requirement to maintain and update associated documentation as required.
The role often requires operating independently and influencing across different levels of the business and regularly sending mandatory reporting to the CEO and senior management team.
This role will suit a practical, credible professional who is comfortable working autonomously while engaging closely with operational teams and senior stakeholders. The role will be primarily based at our Blairgowrie office, with occasional travel required to support operations at our London and Ayr offices.
